- Post-Storm Care: After heavy storms, check for debris and buildup that may have accumulated.
- Timely Cleaning: Cleaning is easiest a few days after a storm, once debris has settled and dried out.
- Routine Walkarounds: Regularly walk the perimeter of your home to spot any damage or gutters pulling away from the roof.
- Debris Removal: Start at the downspouts, using a garden trowel to remove debris, and work your way along the gutters.
- Flush It Out: After clearing the debris, use a garden hose to flush the gutters, starting from the far end toward the downspout. A gutter cleaning attachment can make this process safer and easier from the ground.
Gutter Cleaning
Although it’s highly recommended to leave gutter cleaning to professionals, some homeowners opt to handle basic upkeep themselves.
If you do, exercise extreme caution and follow these Gutter Cleaning Safety Tips:
- Wear Safety Gear: Wear work gloves and safety glasses to protect yourself while clearing debris.
- Stay Off the Roof: Never attempt to check gutters by standing on the roof.
- Ladder Safety: Use a sturdy ladder placed on flat, even ground for stability.
- Avoid Gutter Strain: Don’t lean on or pull the gutters to look inside—they're not meant to support your weight.
- Mind the Hose: Avoid using a hose while standing on a ladder to prevent slips and falls.
- Watch for Powerlines: Always be aware of your surroundings and steer clear of powerlines when working.
Inspect and clean your gutters and downspouts regularly to maintain a healthy, free-flowing system – and prevent costly future repairs.
